Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 June 2026

Debate

Sovereign AI Fund

Contribution

The noble Baroness is correct to highlight that we have been clear that copyright rules should be respected and the use of copyright works to train AI in the UK requires a licence unless an exception applies. Companies supported by the sovereign AI fund are expected to comply with applicable UK law, including copyright. When we are talking about compliance in relation to grant-funded compute allocations, they equally must comply with copyright law while undertaking that funded activity.
